So disgusting that the woman didnt get life in prison, or better death Penalty. :(the part about how she knocked out her teeth was hard enough.. then hearing she forced her to BITE on the broken off teeth until they crusted back into her mouth and were black? I feel ill :( this almost never happens with these videos, damn

Why be sentenced for years kill them before they do this to other children no criminal should get a chance even being near anyone even an officer. Kill them literally that’s horrible. What if they escape prison huh? Come on

She's not lying a similar story happened to my best friend and her siblings. No one in the neighborhood suspected that a religious family was abusing little kids that that had kidnapped from a family member.

I’ve never thought this before but I can honestly say prison is too kind for them. I wish an eye for an eye was still a thing and they were tortured for 20 years. No one absolutely no one deserves what happened to her.

People who beat children are cowards and wouldn't dare try an adult that way. Would love to be in this ladys presence for a good 15 min alone in a room or cell. Im sure they will get what they deserve in prison.This just makes me sick! Poor girl didnt even get to have a child hood from these 2 pieces of garbage!

Our justice system needs to be changed. I'm 100% in favor of an eye for an eye. I believe these monsters should have to go thru, what this child did, every single day of the rest of their pathetic lives!! There is no justice handed out for the severity of their crimes. Until punishments are given out to match the crimes, it's gonna continue. PERIOD
